The Mayfair floats deep-buttoned black hide on a curved band of polished brass: the members' club, distilled.
Three seats of after-dark polish. Commissioned in your choice of thirty hides.
Top-grain hide is cut and built by hand, so allow roughly ±2cm.
Hide sourced from Australia, Brazil and Argentina, hand-cut and set over a kiln-dried hardwood frame. The same leather covers every surface of the piece, front and back. Built to patina and to last.
The frame. Solid hardwood, mortise-and-tenon joints with corner blocks, kiln-dried to 8 to 12 per cent moisture before a single cut.
Seat suspension. Serpentine sinuous springs across the seat base, over a non-woven fabric support, under high-resilience seat foam at 35 to 40kg per cubic metre. It is the arrangement that keeps a seat stable and holds its shape over years rather than seasons.
3-year warranty on every piece, covering the frame and workmanship.
Commissioned to order, approximately 12 to 14 weeks to build. Delivered Australia-wide.
Who is Rumpus?
Rumpus is the leather-furniture house of A Man & His Cave, an Australian business established in 2020. Six years on, we design and commission top-grain leather lounges and chairs, built to order and backed by Australian support experts who know this range inside out.
Is my piece covered by warranty?
Yes. Every Rumpus piece carries a 3-year warranty covering the frame and workmanship.
Can I get a custom size?
Catalogue pieces are built on fixed tooling, so the dimensions listed are the dimensions of the piece. A custom size is a one-off design build with a design fee from $800, priced per piece. Call us on +61 2 7248 6718 for an exact number.
Are these made to order?
Yes. Each piece is commissioned in the hide you choose and built for your room, roughly 12 to 14 weeks from order.
Can I see the leather before I buy?
Book a call and a specialist will walk you through how each hide looks and wears, and can send photographs of the exact leather in natural light.
Where do you deliver?
Australia-wide. Pop your postcode into the delivery estimate above for a rate on this piece.
How do I care for top-grain leather?
Wipe with a dry cloth, condition it every few months and keep it out of direct sun. Top-grain hide is meant to patina and only gets better with age.
Top-grain hide on a hardwood frame. Seams stitched by hand, brass set one stud at a time, then oiled back to a sheen.
Nothing about it is quick. That is rather the point.

Better than I expected... The proportions are right, it does not look bulky for its size... It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space.

Best furniture purchase my wife and I have made. The tufting is even right across the back. It replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick.

Ten out of ten from us... The buttoning is all done by hand and it shows... Bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently... The crew rang the day before to confirm, which I appreciated.
About four months in, a stud on the front of the left arm worked loose and eventually came out. Rumpus posted a replacement and talked me through setting it, which was easy enough, but I'd rather it hadn't happened on a sofa at this price. Everything else about it is excellent.
Genevieve, a stud shouldn't back out at four months and we'd rather send someone than talk you through doing it yourself. If it happens again, call us and we'll come. We've changed the stud fixing on this frame since.
Really lovely piece. The buttoning is all done by hand and it shows. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.
very good buy. it is heavy in the way good furniture is heavy
Ten out of ten from us. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention. 😍
Could not be happier. Arrived without a mark on it after a long haul. Worth the wait. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.
wanted to love it. it is firmer than i expected and it has not softened as much as promised. sort the communication and this is a five star company
Sorry about this one. We should have called you rather than leaving you to chase us. That is on us and it has changed.
A lovely thing... The tufting is even right across the back... We put it in the media room and nobody sits anywhere else now... They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does.
Could not be happier. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick. It is a firm sit for the first month or two. Nothing to complain about.
Genuinely beautiful. The brass stud line down the front of the arm is the detail that makes it.
No complaints at all. The studs are set flush, no rough edges. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.
Excellent sofa. It is heavy — genuinely four people to move it — so make sure it's where you want it first time.
Rapt with it. The feet are solid timber, not plastic caps. Bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently. It was a 60th present and he still talks about it. The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it. Cannot fault it.
Really happy with it. The buttoning is all done by hand and it shows. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate.
Really lovely piece. The cushions have held their shape completely. The buttoning does collect crumbs, you need the vacuum nozzle now and then. Worth the wait.
Very pleased. The colour is richer in person than any photo manages. Sits in the study and it is where I end up every night.
Genuinely impressed. The buttoning is all done by hand and it shows. Bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed. It is a firm sit for the first month or two.
It sits against a dark green wall with a brass lamp beside it and it does exactly what I hoped. Top grain hide in black is hard to get right because cheap black leather goes shiny and plastic-looking. This is matte with visible grain. Nine months and no shine on the seat yet.
Very nice sofa. The deep buttoning is very neat. My family is very happy. I am very satisfied.
Genuinely impressed. It has that proper club look without feeling stuffy. The crew rang the day before to confirm, which I appreciated. Worth the wait. ❤️
Chuffed with it. You can knock the frame and hear that it is hardwood. We got it for the holiday house and it has taken a season of guests. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it.
a lovely thing. it smells like a proper leather shop, which i did not expect to care about. the buttoning does collect crumbs, you need the vacuum nozzle now and then
Everything we hoped for. The stitching is straight the whole way round. Bought it for my wife and she has claimed it entirely.
Best furniture purchase we've ever made and I've said that to about ten people now.
Very good buy. The studs are set flush, no rough edges. Delivery was on the day they said. The lead time is long, plan for it. The rolled arms take up more width than you would think. Money well spent.
Really lovely piece. It feels like it was built by someone who cared. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick.
Delighted with it. Bought it for my husband and he has not sat anywhere else since. Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted.
Beautifully made and it arrived earlier than the quoted window with a call two days beforehand to confirm. Faultless.
Delighted with it. The tufting is even right across the back. The buttoning does collect crumbs, you need the vacuum nozzle now and then. Worth the wait.
really happy with it. the buttoning is all done by hand and it shows. the twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it
Very good big sofa. Strong frame and the black leather is very good quality, not plastic feeling. We are very happy.
Very pleased. It replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless. It is in our Airbnb and has survived a hundred guests.
A lovely thing. The seams are done properly, I checked them first. It is in our Airbnb and has survived a hundred guests. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick. Recommend without hesitation.
Very nice sofa. Very comfortable for sitting long time. My wife is very happy with it. I am very satisfied.
It has completely changed the room. The studs are set flush, no rough edges. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does.
Good sofa for the price. Look very expensive. Recommend.
Absolutely thrilled. You can knock the frame and hear that it is hardwood.
Ten out of ten from us. The buttoning does collect crumbs, you need the vacuum nozzle now and then.
Worth every cent. The hide is top grain and you can see it at the cut edges. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it. Very pleased with the whole thing. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.
So glad we went with this one. Got it for dad's 70th and he was speechless, which never happens. Worth the wait.

chuffed with it. the studs are set flush, no rough edges. bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed. waited a bit over three months and it was worth it. would recommend
So glad we went with this one. It is by the fire and that corner is now the best seat in the house. Bought a pair for the barber shop, clients ask about them constantly. Arrived without a mark on it after a long haul. Very happy.
Genuinely impressed. The hide is thick, not the thin stuff you get on the chain store versions. Got it for dad's 70th and he was speechless, which never happens. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention.
very pleased. it went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished
no complaints at all. it has that proper club look without feeling stuffy. it is by the fire and that corner is now the best seat in the house. it is a firm sit for the first month or two. no regrets

It has completely changed the room. Very happy.

Better than I expected. The leather has already started to patina on the arms. Sits in the study and it is where I end up every night.
A lovely thing. The colour is richer in person than any photo manages.
